Setsubun: Season Festival

Setsubun literally means "Change of Season", but in February, there is a special event that usually matches the lunar New Year which is celebrated.

The Celebration consists in wearing a mask and people throwing Soya roasted beens at the one wearing the mask to chase the evil away.

I personally didn't see it, but I've read about it. On that day they sell the soya beans for the occasion. There is an article that explains the details on wikipedia (click here) if you would like to know more ;)
